European Thrift Stores

Fishing in the rain - it's the best! (According to my daughter)

I have just spent the last couple of weeks in my homeland, Norway.  It was such a lovely visit, and much needed.  Lots of time for friends, family, travelling - and yes, thrift store shopping! 

Below is a little video from my favorite thrift shop at home.  And let me tell you right away, it was excruciating not to be able to buy everything I wanted.  Darn luggage restraints!

What are some of your favorites?  Enjoy!

    1. The Figgjo was a little bit expensive, compared to what I have seen on previous visits. I guess nostalgia for these pieces is creeping in in Norway too. They were about $6 each. I debated getting them, but left them behind :-(
